Totaling 54 different people in the first half of the year, which is 360% achievement (planned 15 participants in the whole year). 51 people were new participants, of the planned 10, and that concludes the successful new participants metric with overachievement of 509.99% progress. One article was created and that makes five total content pages in the first half with progress of 12.5%.
